ABOUT
slp, also known as maudlyn monroe, is a poet, songwriter, musician, and educator living in Colorado, who can be found vaguely under-promoting their first studio album widow’s daughter or hermetteing with their Smith-Corona typewriter and big feelings. They are currently working on two more studio projects, Heart-shaped rock and greedy pushy needy, as well as translating the works of Cesaria Évora, Jacques Brel, and Édith Piaf.
slp teaches composition, literature, and creative writing at Colorado State University; directs music at Arvada/Trinity Presbyterian Church, and writes Madness and disability ethnographies with colleague and life witness Dr. Aubry Threlkeld. Their poetry manuscripts have been finalists multiple times for the Ahsahta Sawtooth Prize, as well as the Ashahta, Slope, and Gazing Grains Chapbook Prizes. They lived with a dog named Fred.

decolonize everything
slp/maudlyn monroe’s Substack is a combination of music newsletter—featuring releases, updates, stories behind the music—as well as a place to connect with listeners and other writers, and muse over disability, Madness, decolonization, music, poetry, and maybe a bit of Buddhism and psychedelics. I know, so trite, right.
